Episode 188: The Trouble with Terffles

After Nina “sings” the theme song to The Electric Company and Cori talks about his cats, we discuss last week’s news: gender-critical lawyer Glenna Goldis’s hiring by the FTC post-firing by NY State Attorney General Letitia James, and detransitioner Fox Varian’s $2M lawsuit victory. Living up to our promise of quality content, we look up things on the Internet while recording. Then it’s time to talk Terffles: artisanal chocolates handmade (not handmaiden!) by a canceled TERF witch but inclusive of everyone. Will the Urbana Farmer’s Market accept Nina’s delicious Amaretto Amarena Amazeballs? Plus: “The age of Free Software is ending,” DEI parasites, PaleGray Labs, team names for a cat Cute-Off, Cory’s real name, and more!Links:Glenna Goldis hired by FTC: https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-hires-glenna-goldis-lawyer-fired-by-letitia-jamesFox Varian $2M lawsuit: https://www.economist.com/united-states/2026/02/06/lawsuits-over-transgender-medicine-for-minors-could-be-hugeBenjamin Ryan, journalist: http://www.benryan.net/ASPS Statement: https://www.plasticsurgery.org/documents/health-policy/positions/2026-gender-surgery-children-adolescents.pdfAMA statement: https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2026-02-06/american-medical-association-says-gender-surgeries-for-minors-should-waitThe Banality of Stupid (2017): https://ninapaley.com/2017/03/23/the-banality-of-stupid/Hannah Ahrendt: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/banality-of-evilInformed Dissent podcast: https://informeddissentpodcast.substack.com/The Lunduke Journal: https://lunduke.com/Rhapsody in BlueVirtuoso tap dancing:Disabling Impairments cards: https://store.ninapaley.com/product/disabling-impairments/ Get full access to Heterodorx Podcast at heterodorx.substack.com/subscribe
